My family had to get rid of one dog before, but not for any of those reasons. The reason was that she was mistreated as a puppy (rescue dog, you see), and she was just totally untrainable, no matter how much we tried. We even sent her to a boot camp for disobediant dogs, but to no avail. After a month we had to give her back to the dog home, and I think she's been rehomed with a more experianced dog-owner now, which is nice. We got another rescue dog who was much smaller and easier to handle a few months after that.
If you got rid of a pet just because you couldn't be bothered to get off your arse and do something practical about it, that just makes you a total douche. Please don't get a pet next time.
Have you ever got a pet and got rid of it immediately?
